What I Bought Today | 28th January 2017

I did a very bad thing today. I walked into The Body Shop. and yes I did spend far too much money. But the staff in my local store are just so lovely you kinda cant help emptying your bank account into their tills!!!
All I wanted was the new InstaBlur which is very much like Benefits Pore-fessional which I received in my birchbox in December but is a lot cheaper!!! So this was £15 for a 25ml tube and I cant wait to give it a try!!
So that was it I was happy i had found what I came in for when the lovely lady behind the till asked if i wanted to try the new Drops of Youth Liquid Peel. Now I'm not one to turn down a cheeky tester and boy was this good!!! the amount of dead skin to peel of the back of my hand was amazing!!! So obviously I had to buy that as well. So this was also £15 for a 145ml bottle. She then had to go and ask if I had any other concerns with my skin. Now my current issue is that my skin is just covered in black heads. I have literally tried everything and nothing works so she then showed me their tea tree range. Now I love tea tree oil, it does absolute wonders for my hair so hopefully my face should also reap the benefits. So in a bid to banish those black heads I bought one of their Christmas box sets. So the one I bought contains a 125ml tube of 3-in-1 wash, scrub, mask and an anti-imperfection serum. Because it was a Christmas set it was reduced from £18 to £12.

I can't wait to try these lovely products out and a big shout out to Mandy in the Gloucester store, you were such a brilliant help.

As Always

January Faves

Hello!!!
So it is a new year so why not an new blog series!!!
Now in the past I have always stuck to what I have known and never tried anything new but for the last few months I have been getting birch box, which is a brilliant subscription box full of high end full sized and sample sized beauty products. This means I can sample some brilliant products that have quite simply changed my beauty life!!! Now my current favourite that I have been sent is the Marcelle BB creme golden glow. It is a great alternative to foundation, honestly the best BB cream I have ever tried!!!

Now I have to say thank you to a new friend of mine for this next favourite and that is Star Wars!!!! How had I not watched these pretty awesome films until now??? So I watched them all in the space of a week and I do not regret it. Obviously Harry potter will always be my number one but why had nobody told me how sarcastic droids are!!! C3PO is my dream best friend and K2SO just a dream!!!
Seriously if you have never watched them and are thinking but I'm not a 12 year old geek watch Rouge One and you will be immediately hooked. I watched them in the order the were released and honestly I wouldn't watch them any other way. Now to wait till December for The Last Jedi!!!

So my final favourite this month is my all time favourite perfume. Now I have been wearing this particular scent for a while now but I recently found out it is being discontinued!!! Givenchy Play is such a beautiful invention that i just adore!!!! Seriously if you can get your hands on a bottle do it you will be for ever thankful!!!

So I hope you have enjoyed this new little feature!!! If you have any suggestions of any beauty products I should try please let me know in the comments!!!



As always

Self Harm and Suicide | Anxiety Talks

Hello  my lovelies.
Now this is a bit of a hard post for me to write as it is very personal. And Mum I am very sorry if this upsets you.
So as we all know that subject like self harm and suicide are very common place in today's media. Unfortunately too many young people are thinking about suicide and are self harming. Like all of my posts I am going to share my experiences. Just as a disclosure this is not me asking for sympathy nor attention seeking.
This blog was inspired by someone very close to me going through a bit of a hard time and the advice I gave to her.
When I was first told I suffer from anxiety I didn't know what to do. I couldn't control it and felt I needed to punish my self for it. It was also a way for me to prevent myself from panicking. Now I never cut my self instead I would scratch myself until I bled. It has taken me some time to stop self harming but i guess I discovered it didn't actually do any good if anything it was preventing me from actually learning to control my anxiety.
Now I am very lucky to not feel truly suicidal, there have been days where I wonder if there is any point to life or if anyone would care if I died today. Unfortunately I know several people who have not only considered taking their lives but have also made an attempted at doing so.
When I know a friend is feeling that way I remind them that if they were to go ahead with it what in life they are going to miss out on. For example they will never get the chance to fall in love, they will never get the chance to watch their kids grow up, they will never get to travel the world. They have so much to live for, so live it!
Never ever give up as you never know what good is just around the corner.
If any of you are feeling this way I want you to go to your best friend or your mum and tell them. Talk to them. If you do not feel you can talk to anyone please visit the Samaritans website or call them at  116 123.

Please stay strong

Always be a Rainbow in Someone Else's Cloud

Hello my lovelies!!!
so I am sorry if this blog is not as great as normal but I am really struggling to write something at the moment. So if you follow me on instagram and snapchat you will have seen that I never have the same hair colour for long!!!
Ever since I was about 15 I wanted to have candy floss pink hair. It was all I could talk about but m mum hated the thought of me ruining my blonde hair. It wasn't until I was 18 that I went out and bought a box dye and it was rather interesting. I was working at BHS at the time and quite frankly they hated it but the customers thought it was brilliant!!!

After the pink I went for another box dye this time purple. now when I first did this my friends thought they were proper comedians and sent me theses pictures.

Honestly it didn't look that bad but it really did not look great either!!!

Now after the purple I'm not too sure what I was thinking because I kinda went green. Yes that I right, I guess I thought I could pull off the mermaid look but alas it was quite the contrary. The dye I used was quite simply rubbish and I guess I should just show you what happened.

Never again will I attempt to be a mermaid!!!

I think the green must have put me off dying my hair for a bit because it wasn't until very recently that I dyed my hair pink again. This time it was more of a raspberry than a bright pink. I actually really liked this colour and if I was going to use a box dye again it would definitely be this one.

I am very lucky these days that I have a best friend who specialises in vivids. This means I never have to use a box dye again and can experiment a lot more!!! because of this I have recently been able to have a variety of colours in my hair. The first style we went for was a purple, pink and blue balayage which looked absolutely amazing although I was likened to the My Little Pony, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

The next style we went for was this beautiful blue and pink combo which I am actually in love with right now. I love the way that the pink comes through the blue. I just love it!!!

So were do I get my inspiration from? It would have to be Kasey O'Hara Skrobe aka Hair by KaseyOh

She is an absolutely brilliant vivids specialist from Maryland USA. It would absolutely mean so much if one day I could get my hair done by her. Her creations are so magical and never fail to make me go WOW!!!

Here is some of her work:

I hope this has given you some hair inspo and if you also love having crazy hair why not tag me in your pics on instagram!!!!

And just remember always be a rainbow in someone else's cloud!!!

Over Thinking | Anxiety Talks

Part of my anxiety is that I over think literally everything. For example I could go on a date and then not hear from the guy, my brain will spend 100% of its time creating scenarios (some of which are so unrealistic it is stupid) as to why he hasn't replied and I end up believing them.
Over thinking is definitely the one thing that affects me more than anything else. I am scared that it will prevent me from meeting people and taking on opportunities that I will never get offered again.
I think that it is one thing that I don't know how to control and that is definitely what bugs me the most and get me down.
If anyone does have any advice as to how i can control this I would be so appreciative. How do you stop it?

I know this was just a short post today, but this is just something that has really been bugging me the last week or so.

As always
Much love

So the next item was a lovely makeup set from Academy of Colour. The set I picked was the REDS lips collection and it contains a lipstick, lip gloss, liquid lipstick, lip gloss crayon and a lip pencil. I can't wait to try these out!!! They were £4 down from £8

My New Years Resolutions

Happy New Year!!!!
Now honestly who is already fed up of hearing people say that to you, let me so those hands!!!
Now I don't usually set myself any new years resolutions as I am just really rubbish at sticking to them, so this year I am going to do something a little different!!!
I am going to set myself some rules to follow. And to make sure I am reminded of them everyday I have made my self a cool little print out that I will pop in a cool frame and hang on the wall.
This year I want to be happy, I don't want my anxiety to be getting the better of my any more. I want to want to get out of bed every day and accomplish something. But most of all I want to laugh a genuine laugh.

In order to do this I'm going to follow these rules:

• Do one thing every day that makes you happy
• Don't take everything personally 
• Don't let anyone dull your sparkle 
• Think positive and positive things will happen
• Chase your dreams

There are also a couple of goals I want to achieve this year. 

The first thing is I want to learn to drive. I am 20 and currently rely on my best friend to drive us everywhere and really it would be nice for us to drive somewhere with out the risk of being killed!!!

Secondly I want to travel abroad. This does mean I will need to get my butt in to gear and actually apply for my passport but I really do need to escape this country for a little while.

And my final goal is to be able to finally start thinking about getting my very own place. As much as I love living in a house share it isn't my own space. I want to be able have parties and actually have my family over for Christmas instead of them having to put up with me!!!

Hopefully I can achieve all of this!!! 

I hope you enjoyed reading this post! Comment what your new years resolutions are and we can see if we can stick at them together!!!!

Much love

What I Got For Christmas

Did you all have a great Christmas? I know I did.
So you will probably read a gazillion post just like this but that's probably because they are so fun to write lol!!!
So lets get into it!! Now first off I am going to apologise, I don't have any pictures of my presents as I am super unorganised but I will post a picture on instagram later.

So First of all I got a lynx gift set!! Ever since lynx released their female fragrance I have received it every year.
The next present I got was a black cape that fastens at the front and a super fluffy bright pink dressing gown. I freaking love this dressing gown it is sooo cosy like you would not believe.
Now this is quite possibly my favourite present!!! My dad is an absolute legend and I'm not going to lie I never really thought he paid all that much attention to my hobbies and my interests since I stopped running but apparently I  was very wrong!!! Completely off his own back he went and did a bit of googling and bought me some jewellery and crafting tools!!! I cannot wait to use them!!!
I also got a lovely pair of biker style boots that have the most amazing cushioning i have ever experience in a pair of boots before!!!

Now I also bought myself a couple of Christmas treats!!! You know those moments when you are out buying things for other people and you are like 'you know who would like that? I would like that' well
I had that moment three times!!! So my first 'me' present was a beautiful maybelline make up set that included a beautiful pink lipstick, a mascara, a contour palette and their 24 hour colour tattoo eyeshadow.
I also bought myself a lovely gift set by Baylis and Harding's Beauticology range. This set includes a shower creme in strawberry swirl, a body lotion in pink peppermint  candy swirl, a body wash in cherry candy cane; this all came in an absolutely amazing red glittery clutch/cosmetics bag!!!
The final item I bought was a Lee Stafford Chopstick Styler curling wand!!!! I cannot wait to use this!!! I absolutely adore when my hair is curly especially when I have all my funky colours in my hair!!!

So I hope you enjoyed reading this post, please comment with what your favourite present was this year and what your worse ever present has been. I look forward to reading your comments!!!


Much love
